I want to use Tor as a proxy for HTTP-requests with curl or wget on a CentOS Machine. I used this How-to and I looked for some answers on stackexchange and stackoverflow. https://medium.com/the-sysadmin/using-tor-for-your-shell-script-fee9d8bdef5c#.9ixz30jbn
If I typing into my shell 'tor' I get this:
Aug 31 21:01:29.871 [notice] Tor v0.2.8.6 running on Linux with Libevent 2.0.22-stable, OpenSSL 1.0.2h and Zlib 1.2.8.

Where is my error, or wich command is the right?

The line Opening Socks listener on 127.0. 0.1:9050 tells you that it's SOCKS (proxy) port is listening on port 9050. This is the port you want applications like curl or wget to proxy through. As shown in the article you linked, you just need to run curl using Tor's SOCKS port.
To use a proxy with Curl, you must pass the required proxy address using the -x (or --proxy) command-line option and proxy credentials using the -U (or --proxy-user) command-line switch. Proxy credentials may also be passed in the proxy string and will be URL decoded by Curl.
Using the Tor browser, you can hide your online activity from network surveillance and traffic analysis. You can configure your Web browser — Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer — to use the Tor proxy, and your communications are anonymized as long as the Tor browser is running in the background.
You've made no mistake. That output indicates that Tor launched, connected to the network and is running. You'll probably want to figure out how to daemonize it, or run it in the background (nohup tor &).
